I have a 60gal hex. tank that has completed its cycle I was wondering if I were to do more frequent water changes should I save this water and add it to my other tanks to speed along the cycle. Would this be wise or unwise thing to do?

10gal tank is on the second stage of the cycle
30gal tank is also on the second stage

65-70 gal bow tank is just getting started.

That wouldn't really help your cycle.
But some gravel or filter media would.

Adding water from a cycled tank to an uncycled tank will not speed up the uncycled tank's progress at all. This is because the bacteria that cycle your tank live on surfaces in your filter media, substrate, and decor, not free-floating in the water. What you could do that would help would be to cut a piece of filter media from the cycled tank and add it to the tanks that are still cycling.

Thank you sgould that is good news it just so happens a month ago I added a lot more sponge filter material to my canister filter instead of using carbon. I will add some of this to my other filters. Thanks for the advice!!
